Two Poems

by D.T. Robbins

Above: Pavement (Rare early) - Aug 21, 1991 -Live at "The Middle East" in Boston

Would You Rather?

Savage Garden singing

truly, madly, deeply

as you’re being thrown

into a woodchipper

or

living with yourself 

***

I ain’t got no crystal ball

the day I can no longer get rid of

            a Sublime song that’s stuck in my head

is the day I know I’m going to die

I’m just one Santeria away

from eternal silence.
